Her central themes are the classics, universities and teaching -
and much else besides. In this second collection following on from
the success of It's a Don's Life, Beard ponders whether Gaddafi's
home is Roman or not, we share her 'terror of humiliation' as she
enters 'hairdresser country' and follow her dilemma as she wanders
through the quandary of illegible handwriting on examination papers
and 'longing for the next dyslexic' - on whose paper the answers
are typed, not handwritten. Praise for It's a Don's Life
'Delightful... it has the virtues of brevity, eclecticism and
learning worn lightly... if they'd had Mary Beard on their side
back then, the Romans would still have their empire' Daily Mail
